Today is "quit day". Yay. Boy, am I excited. I cant really express my sarcasm via typing, so you're just gonna have to take my word for it. I guess I could have used italics or something clever like that, but I'm not really in the mood. Now, I must admit that, by "quit date", I'm referring solely to the cigarettes. I have taken a couple of lip-fulls of smokeless tobacco, but today is the last day.
Im pretty sure that I get my most tenacious cravings in the morning, right after I wake. So, tomorrow morning is not something I am looking forward to. In the past, Ive been able to go a few days without smoking, but have always used smokeless tobacco as a crutch. Well, tomorrow I will see how I walk on my own with no crutch to lean on. I am not really feeling a decrease in cravings either, so I'm a little skeptical.
The only significant side-effects from the chantix have been the dreaming and the inability to get a good nights sleep. Regardless of the amount of sleep I seem to get, I still wake up tired and lethargic. This feeling lingers throughout the day and never fully subsides. It's almost as if all night in bed you're not really fully asleep. Only laying in bed thinking with your eyes closed. The vividness of the dreaming may be to blame for the lack of quality sleep or vice versa or something in between. Who knows, I'm pretty tired. I did throw a small temper tantrum today, but I cant totally fault the meds, anyone would have been annoyed with what I had to deal with. But, it was a little out of character to actually throw objects and storm off like a bratty school kid. Maybe just tired and cranky. I can only imagine how tomorrow will go without any nicotine. Ahhh, Ill be fine, right?!? Please feel free to comment or something to let me know what you think.
